** Bard figuring out who Thorin is, and single-handedly trying to stop him from going to the mountain. And, when that fails, helping Kili despite the trouble he's about to cause.
*** Bard in general. Of all the characters in the entire trilogy (and ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings''), he's the only one apart from hobbits to be an ordinary bloke, forced into heroism by circumstance.
* A meta one, but while fans of [[Film/LordOfTheRings the original trilogy]] and the books criticise the film, often for adding scenes, the scene where Gandalf and Radagast investigate the tombs of the Nazgul on the High Fells got significant praise - in fact, it was outright compared to moments in the original trilogy. The prize winning moment is [=McKellen=]'s delivery of the following line as he shines a light down into the tombs.
--> If he had ever had a name, it has been long since lost. He would only have been remembered... as a servant of evil. One of a number. [[WhamLine One of]] ''[[WhamLine nine.]]''
* We get a flashback where Girion, the last King of Dale, repeatedly tried to bring Smaug down by shooting ballista bolts at him even as the dragon destroyed his city, refusing to give up and fighting until the moment he died. Thorin and the Master of Laketown consider this an abject failure considering he didn't manage to ''kill'' Smaug, and the legend actually says that he missed every arrow, but he probably came closer than anyone ever has to actually doing it. And furthermore, he made it that much easier for his descendant, Bard, to finally succeed.
** Girion is actually even more badass when you think about it. One, he never missed a shot. Two, every shot ''[[ImprobableAimingSkills hit the same scale]]''. It just took three shots to get the thing off since Smaug is so tough. Three, when Bilbo sees the missing scale and remarks that the legend of the black arrows is true, Smaug ''flips his lid''. Girion may have failed, but Smaug was one shot away from death and ''he knows it''. When you manage to not only hurt a dragon the size of a city block, whose power and evilness is second only to Sauron, but actually instill in him lasting fear, you qualify as a badass.

* A meta moment: when Ed Sheeran was chosen to record the end credits song for the film, he watched it at Park Road Post, ''immediately'' wrote 'I See Fire' and ''recorded most of it himself.'' '''All in one day.''' While providing overdubbing on the violin, despite the fact he'd never learned to play the instrument.

** And Gandalf stopping a pair of assassins from killing Thorin just by being in the same room.
** The dwarves for their part successfully fend off the orcs' attack despite the disadvantage of being in barrels washed down a violent current. They display excellent teamwork, taking the orcs' weapons and then tossing them to each other when needed. There's one moment where Bifur, Thorin and Dwalin hack at a log one after the other while passing under it, making it snap in half and drop the orcs on top into the water.

* In the Extended Edition, Gandalf also fends off a sneak attack from a ring-sickened Thrain before curing him of his madness. He then dispels an illusion of vines on a wall being writhing snakes with a rap of his staff.

* Azog sneak-attacks Gandalf and forces him to retreat. Despite being just an orc and not having any kind of magical/supernatural powers, Azog is one of the strongest antagonists in the entire Middle-Earth film saga. When Peter Jackson said that he [[DarthVaderClone modeled Azog after Darth Vader]] from ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'', you can tell that he wasn't kidding; Azog is equal to the Witch-King of Angmar when it comes to sheer badassery among Sauron's lieutenants.
